Three Short Tales of Fairies

The Craig-Y-Don Blacksmith:The town's blacksmith was a known drunk. One day three fairies confronted the man and told him to stop drinking.

Today was the little girl’s half birthday, and her mom got her a present. Her mom set the gift down in front of the her and said, “I wanted to give this to you at dinner, but I couldn’t wait! You should open it now. Happy Half Birthday, sweetie!” The little girl replied,“Okay!” Then ripped off the wrapping in less than a second. “Oh my gosh! It’s sooooo soooo beautiful, I bet it cost a lot of money, right? It did cost a lot of money didn’t it, Mom?” Her mother nodded. The girl asked, “I knew it was! So, can I wear it today to school and show all my friends?” “Of course,” her mother replied. The little girl trotted off to school to show off her new, ruby necklace. On her way, she always
